Epidemic
Epidemic is a illness that spreads worldwide. In our Biology class we played a game were u created the disease and try to spread it all over the world. Now there a lot of ways to spread it such as : Transportation. Bugs. Air. That's y u have to wash ur hands and clean the area around u so u don't get sick . So that's what epidemic
Fermentation
I did a project on fermentation!!! So what we were fermenting was yogurt. We first got 1cup of milk 1/3 of organic yogurt and 1 tablespoon of sugar. We mix them together and after that we put it under a heating pad. Then leave it out for 10 hours. It might be smelly cause my was uhhh lol . Then we put it in the fridge. No one wanted to eat it because they though they were going to get sick. P.s I heated everything before I mix them together .
Recipes vs procedure
Ok so recipes are more as a list of things u need in order to make it. After that it shows u how-to-do or make it in words. With recipes u don't always have to go by the book. Then u have Procedures. This means u have to go step-by-step or it will not come out correctly. I think recipes r better because u can add in what u like and make it special .

MY Nat 2.0
This website helps you count what your eating, how much fat, and the calories. I been using this website for a week to find how my diet is in five days. I dislike it because it did not have certain food I was looking for. The thing I like about it was it gets the correct measurements and list how much calories,fat,sugar,and sodium. You should try this website and see if you like it or not. Have a nice day :}

Why should you follow a Recipe?
Why Should You Follow A Recipe?
There is one reason is why you should follow a recipe, because when your doing a science lab and you have to make sure that everything goes and combines together.You have to see if they blend together to show if it makes the product that was on the recipe. Sometimes when you don't follow a recipe it might taste bad or wont be formed how it was suppose to come out. So always follow the recipe so you always have your product right. If it comes out wrong and you followed the directions then it the person who created the recipe made a mistake. :D

Homemade Pizza Recipe
Homemade Pizza Recipe
- Prep time: 2 hours
- Cook time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
Pizza Dough: Makes enough dough for two 10-12 inch pizzas or 25.40-30.48 cm- 3.5 liters or 1 1/2 cups warm water (105°F-115°F)
- 1 package 0.04 liters or (2 1/4 teaspoons) of active dry yeast (check the expiration date on the package)
- 3.50 pints or 3 1/2 cups bread flour (can use all-purpose but bread flour will give you a crisper crust)
- 0.03 liters or 2 Tbsp olive oil
- 0.01 liters or 2 teaspoons salt
- 0.01 liters or 1 teaspoon sugar
- Olive oil
- Cornmeal (to slide the pizza onto the pizza stone)
- Tomato sauce (purée)
- Mozzarella or Parmesan cheese, shredded
- Feta cheese
- Mushrooms, thinly sliced
- Bell peppers, stems and seeds removed, thinly sliced
- Italian sausage, cooked ahead
- Chopped fresh basil
- Pesto
- Pepperoni, thinly sliced
- Onions, thinly sliced
- Sliced ham
- A pizza stone, highly recommended if you want your pizza dough to be crusty
- A pizza peel or a flat baking sheet
- A pizza wheel for cutting the pizza, not required, but easier to deal with than a knife
Method
Making the Pizza Dough
1 In the large bowl of a heavy duty electric mixer (such as a Kitchen Aid), add the warm water. Sprinkle on the yeast and let sit for 5 minutes until the yeast is dissolved. Stir to dissolve completely if needed at the end of 5 minutes.2 Attach a mixing paddle to the mixer. Mix in the olive oil, flour, salt and sugar on low speed for about a minute. Remove the mixing paddle and replace with a dough hook. Knead using the mixer and dough hook, on low to medium speed, until the dough is smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. If you don't have a mixer, you can mix and knead by hand. If the dough seems a little too wet, sprinkle on a bit more flour.
3 Place ball of dough in a bowl that has been coated lightly with olive oil. Turn the dough around in the bowl so that it gets coated with the oil. Cover with plastic wrap. Let sit in a warm place (75-85°F) until it doubles in size, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours (or several hours longer, a longer rise will improve the flavor). If you don't have a warm spot in the house you can heat the oven to 150 degrees, and then turn off the oven. Let the oven cool till it is just a little warm, then place the bowl of dough in this warmed oven to rise.
At this point, if you want to make ahead, you can freeze the dough in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Preparing the Pizzas
1 Place a pizza stone on a rack in the lower third of your oven. Preheat the oven to 450°F for at least 30 minutes, preferably an hour.2 Remove the plastic cover from the dough and punch the dough down so it deflates a bit. Divide the dough in half. Form two round balls of dough. Place each in its own bowl, cover with plastic and let sit for 10 minutes.
3 Prepare your desired toppings. Note that you are not going to want to load up each pizza with a lot of toppings as the crust will end up not crisp that way. About a third a cup each of tomato sauce and cheese would be sufficient for one pizza. One to two mushrooms thinly sliced will cover a pizza.
4 Working one ball of dough at a time, take one ball of dough and flatten it with your hands on a slightly floured work surface. Starting at the center and working outwards, use your fingertips to press the dough to 1/2-inch thick. Turn and stretch the dough until it will not stretch further. Let the dough relax 5 minutes and then continue to stretch it until it reaches the desired diameter - 10 to 12 inches. Use your palm to flatten the edge of the dough where it is thicker. You can pinch the very edges if you want to form a lip.
5 Brush the top of the dough with olive oil (to prevent it from getting soggy from the toppings). Use your finger tips to press down and make dents along the surface of the dough to prevent bubbling. Let rest another 5 minutes.
Repeat with the second ball of dough.
6 Lightly sprinkle your pizza peel (or flat baking sheet) with corn meal. Transfer one prepared flattened dough to the pizza peel. If the dough has lost its shape in the transfer, lightly shape it to the desired dimensions.
7 Spoon on the tomato sauce, sprinkle with cheese, and place your desired toppings on the pizza.
8 Sprinkle some cornmeal on the baking stone in the oven (watch your hands, the oven is hot!). Gently shake the peel to see if the dough will easily slide, if not, gently lift up the edges of the pizza and add a bit more cornmeal. Slide the pizza off of the peel and on to the baking stone in the oven. Bake pizza one at a time until the crust is browned and the cheese is golden, about 10-15 minutes. If you want, toward the end of the cooking time you can sprinkle on a little more cheese.
